This massive thread on russian biolab disinfo got cut up, because after all these years i still struggle with threads. But if you click on this, and scroll up you should get the whole thing.

[Dr. Brett Edwards @bwiedwards]

If you want a whistle stop tour of the history of chemical and biological weapons/ want to find out how someone with - 10 technical skills can set up a podcast- come along.

[Dr. Brett Edwards @bwiedwards]

You will likely see wierd claims about offensive 'bio-labs' coming out of Moscow affiliated accounts.

It's nonsense written largely for domestic audiences - cribbed from RU propaganda playbook.

Will try and collate responses etc periodically over coming days below.

Just re-upping this because Lavrov is at it again. Don't make me dig up the BZ thread.

This podcast episode examines the claim that the Black Death entered Europe in the 14th century, via catapult at the siege of Caffa - JICYMI https://t.co/CDTCXWoMMK

And finally, this one is out. Don't forget to follow and pass it on- so we can take more folk on this journey.

I hope this is the last episode I have to consider almost all the things discussed in this episode.

This episode covers chemical and biological warfare from about the fall of Rome, up until the Black Death of the 14th century. At least the new jingle is upbeat. Special thanks to @JPZanders for writing up his historical notes on the topic

[Dr. Brett Edwards @bwiedwards]

Can't wait to share the next episode of the podcast- which covers the history of biological and chemical warfare from the fall of Rome untill the Black Death. Has meant a few lost evenings in the shed. But hope it's worth it!

Excited to have both @MayraAmen and @rshouser joining our team researching global biolabs and biorisk management: Welcome on board you two!

[Dr. Brett Edwards @bwiedwards]

I have no idea what I will speak on yet. But you can bet it will be both esoteric and dad-joke heavy. Thanks for hosting @ellievisions @research_SPIN

This is a great position and opportunity to make a difference in the #biothreat space, and potentially work on other #WMD issues as well!

Apply now, because the only real question is...

de Mussi and the Siege of Caffa: Origin of a Biological Warfare Allegation https://t.co/RsKQ8sYWgT

Or how an origin(al) story discovered in the mid-1800s became a historical fact of received wisdom in the 1960s.

Interested in working with some cool cats and kittens (obviously with the caveats that Carole Baskin does not work here and that I made myself terminally uncool by using that line)?

Come check out this great opportunity now!

In this just released @ScienceMagazine Policy Forum, colleagues and I ask: Are long-standing evidence-based norms about acceptable and unacceptable risks in virology shifting? #SelfSpreadingVaccines #BioriskManagement

Rapidly approaching 3000 downloads for the Poisons and Pestilence Podcast. Who knew so many folk would be interested in this area of history? Much to come this year.
